An Express Train ON the Denver ltio-
Grnmdc Held Up by Four Men. VIII
Ride the Mall. Hut Find the Express
Too Much For Them.
GUNxrsoS, Col, Nov. 4.-The east-bound
train from Salt Lake on the Denver & Rio
Grnnde road was held up by four masked
robbers about four o'clock yesterday morn
ing at lonely spot about i've miles cas-
OF Grand Junction. At that point the
road runs close to the Gunnison river
with q steep bank some two hundred feet
high alongside Of it. The engineer saw
obstructions ahead, and as he brought his
train under control he saw four men on
the track. They called 70 him 10 "Get
down out Of there" which command they
repeated 10 the mail agent and express
messenger. Two Of the robbers went
through the mall and express cars, getting
twenty three registered letters from the
mail. The express cars carry locked Safes
which only certain agents on the road can
open. and the messengers are In ignorance
OF the combination. As the safes are 20.
curely bolted 20 the cars the robbers could
neither open nor remove them, hence they
captured no express money.
The cond uctor Of the train. who had
considerable money on his person, hid
while the robbers held the train after
quietly sending . brakeman back q
Grand Junction 70 give the alarm. From
that point information was quickly sent
both ways. The engineer had some three
hundred dollars with him which he threw
among his coal in the tender and thu
saved IL The thieves held the train nifty
minutes, and then after removing the Oh
structions permitted II to proceed. None
OF the passengers were disturbed. Tn
authorities are active. and Il Il though
the parties will be caught, - the countr,
affords little opportunity for secretinl
them. This Il the first attempt at traiI
robbery on The Rio Qrande road.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. "A terrible trag'
edy occurred In Spencer township. Medi-
No County. Two weak-minded daughters
OF Farmer A. d. Garrett were found dead
in their room and kerosene oil poured on
the floor Of their room TO which q match
had been touched. Garrett and his wife
have not lived happily, one having been .
widower and the other q widow before
they married each other, and each having
children. How the two girls met their
death Is mystery. There was . bruiss
on the forehead Of one and the chin Of the
other was badly scratched. There were
marks on their throats that might have
been made by . rope or the fingers Of
murderer. The neighbors and all those
who have visited the house seem TO uni
versally believe that Mrs Garrett was At
the bottom Of the terrible tragedy. The
women are dead, and the fire hardly made
enough smoke TO smother them, and could
scarcely have been OF accidental origin.
The generally accepted theory II that
Mrs. Garrett made way with the victims
and then set fire 70 the house.

Put Him Out.

George Asbmun used to tell story
about an auctioneer who was provok-
ingly annoyed while in the exercise of
his profession by the ludicrous bids of
fellow whose sole object seemed to
be to make sport for the buyers rathef
than himself to buy. At length en-
ragged beyond endurance, the knight
of the ivory-headed hammer, looking
around the room for a champion to
avenge his wrongs, fixed his eyes upon
a biped Of huge dimensions, very
monarch in strength, and cried out:
"Marlow, what shall l give you to
put that fellow out ?"
81 take one five dollar BILL"
"Done! done! you shall have it.
Assuming the ferocious-knitting
his brows, spreading his nostrils like a
lions, and putting on the wolf all
over his head and shoulders--old
Marlow strode off to the aggressor,
and seizing the terrified wretch by
the collar, said to him in a whisper
that was heard all over the room:
my good frin, you 60 out NIT me

"Done done !" said the fellow.
"Hurrah hurrah!" shouted the
audience. The auctioneer had the
good sense to join in the laugh. and

The Wrong Man.

Talmage is dead. Not the preach
er, but the manager Of the Wabash
Railroad. Once when the Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage was on a lecturing
tour he missed his train at Toledo.
He found that by taking another
train he could catch the train he want
ed at certain junction if the first
train could be got to wait half an
hour. The reverend gentleman is not
over bashful, and he considers that
the great name of Talmage ought to
stop any train on the American conti-
nenr, SO he telegraphed to the Gener-
al Manager of the other road:
Please hold train at Muggerville
junction till express arrives.
TALMAGE.
The reverend gentleman reached
the junction, and he found the train
waiting for him. When the General
Manager of that particular road met
Manager Talmage he said "You
found that train all right at Mugger-
vile Junction I"

Sam Cox on the Stump.

company with Mr.. Hill, who was
mayor of that city twenty-five years
ago, and George Spence, the former
told a characteristic story of Sam
Cox connected with the celebrated
campaign in which the ex-minister to
Turkey, beat Sam Shellabarger, in a
district which the Republican Legis-
lature made for the express purpose
of keeping Sunset out of Congress.
Hill was showing Cox over the
county, and the latter was to speak
at some place out in German town
ship. On the way out they passed
very prominent and influential Ger
man Republican who was blowing
alongside the road. They waited for
him to come around the "land," and
Hill said to Cox:
81 will introduce you to him."
"Don't do it," said Cox. eve will
have chat with him, but don't intro
duce me-"
Presently the farmer came round
and halted his team rather reluctant
ly.
81 haven't time to talk with you,"
said he, "this plowing must be DONE"
That's all right" said Hill, jump
ing out of the buggy. "My friend
here would like to talk with you, and
as was raised on farm l will plow
while you talk"
With that Hill "geed-up" the team
and left Cox and the farmer talking.
"When l got around the twenty
acre field" said Hill, II found Sam
and the farmer down in fence corn.
er playing seven-up, with half.empt-
ed bottle of whisky between them.
Hill plowed several rounds and the
game kept up. The German won
every time and was in high glee, and
pronounced Sam one of the best of
fellows in the world, only he didn't
know how to play seven-up. Finally
Cox inquired:
"Are you going over to the meeting
tonight to hear this man Cox make n
speech I"
mo, l won't 60 near him."
"Why"
Because he's butternut secesh
and rascal and l don't want to hear
him. I'd sooner play seven-up and
drink with gentleman like you than
listen to any rascally butternut make
a speech"
"You are a man after my own
heart" exclaimed Sam, grasping his
hand. "That suits me, but come over
anyhow and we will have some fun
with the rascals, and then we will play
few more games of seven-up for the
drinks"
The proposition suited the farmer
and he agreed to do so.
He was on hand early, seeking eag-
erly in the outskirts of the crowd for
his friend of the fence corner, but did
not see him until he came onto the
stand and was introduced as the Hon.
S. S. Cox.
The old fellow was really paralyzed,
but listened to the speech throughout.
and then made his way to the stand.
81 want to apologize to you"
"What for ?" inquire I Sam.
For abusing you; and | want to
cav"
Don't mention it.
"Well. | want to say, Mr.. Cox, that
l am going to vote for you and my
three boys will do the same"
"Shall we 60 and have another
game of seven-up?"
mo, but you come to my house
some time and stay week and I'll
play with you every day."
That old German neglected his
plowing, or turned it over to his boys,
and went over Clark county whoop-
ing it up for Sam, and was instru-
in securing over 100 Of the O.
500 majority by which he was elect
ed in district that was Republican
